Biodiversity and distribution patterns of coral reef ecosystems in ROPME Sea Area (Inner part: Persian Gulf -Iranian waters)
The Persian Gulf is northern part of the ROPME Sea Area (RSA), and is semi-enclosed shallow sea which located in subtropical climate. Measuring is 1000km in length, varying in width 60-340km, and average depth is about 35m and maximum depth is 105m. This research was carried out during 2005-2010 for reviewing the corals status and determination of coral reef habitats distribution in the Persian...
متن کاملبررسی اثر پارامترهای فیزیکی و شیمیایی آب در پراکنش آبسنگهای مرجانی جزیره کیش
The present study sought to determine the interactions between coral reefs and physicochemical properties of water (depth, temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorophyll a, and water current velocity) and seabed type and slope in Kish Island, Iran. The study area was divided into 19 zones (eight zones with and 11 without corals). Physicochemical properties of water for each...
متن کاملCorrection: Mapping Cold-Water Coral Habitats at Different Scales within the Northern Ionian Sea (Central Mediterranean): An Assessment of Coral Coverage and Associated Vulnerability
In this study, we mapped the distribution of Cold-Water Coral (CWC) habitats on the northern Ionian Margin (Mediterranean Sea), with an emphasis on assessing coral coverage at various spatial scales over an area of 2,000 km(2) between 120 and 1,400 m of water depth. Our work made use of a set of data obtained from ship-based research surveys. Multi-scale seafloor mapping data, video inspections...
متن کاملEnvironmental Constraints on Cold-water Coral Growth and Carbonate Mound Formation
This thesis is devoted to establish and extend the knowledge about cold-water coral carbonate mound formation, especially focussing on the environmental conditions governing recent and past cold water coral growth and, in the final stage mound build-up. This thesis is divided in two major parts. One part (Chapters 2-4) focuses on the recent processes that shape the margin and influence and gove...
متن کاملPhenotype-specific bacterial communities in the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia) and their implications for the coral's nutrition, health, and distribution.
The pseudocolonial coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia, Caryophylliidae) is a eurybathic, stenothermal cosmopolitan cold-water species. It occurs in two color varieties, white and red. L. pertusa builds vast cold-water coral reefs along the continental margins, which are among the most diverse deep-sea habitats. Microbiology of L. pertusa has been in scientific focus for only a few years, but ...
